Where my house is in Uttaradit it has only rained twice in the last 5 months and would not total more than 5 ml for both days so when i see these statements i just have a laugh and then ignore them .

My weather rock is more accurate...

Govt. forecasts are useful for those unlucky enough to live in cities.
 

Watch and listen to the wildlife, if your lucky enough to have some around you.
Cows and buffalo activity can sometimes change.
As a last ( first ) resort listen to your own body and even stick a finger in the air.

My weather rock looks suspiciously like my head (though still attached to my body thankfully) ! It's ability to determine the weather depends on whether or not it is outside - or even awake !
It is usually pretty darn accurate as well.
If the weather is blistering hot - it sweats and burns, meaning it's probably sunny weather.
If the weather is blustery and hot - it sweats and it's hair blows hither and yon.
If the weather is overcast and raining - it sweats (because it's still hot) and drips onto the rest of the machine.
If the weather is freezing and snowing - what the **** am I doing back in Canada ??!? In the Summertime !! Get me outa here !

There have been storm clouds off shore (of Pattaya) all morning, but no thunder or lightning and they appear to just be sitting there, unwilling to shed their precious water on the city or in it's reservoirs.
(Just checked the weather rock - the storm clouds seem to have moved away but there are some slightly fluffy ones coming from the East now - but not dark enough or thick enough to suggest a major rain in the making.)

Very hard rain storm in Chiang Mai late last night.

But once again over in around 20 minutes, temperature was wonderful. 

 

So I hope the same happens today, only for a longer time period...

They said Fog for my Area, total Sunshine today, they said beware Gales n Thunder, we got Misty Skies, they said Sunshine, cant fool me anymore. that means Rain.!!.  Recon they are related to T.A.T. Visitor Arrivals Truth Dept. Only get the Car Washed when Rains forecast so it doesn't get dirty.!

Lol - I rely on my neighbour to tell me if it's going to rain soon.

Everytime he washes his car or minivan, it rains within a few hours. I even joke with him about it now, when I see him starting to wash a vehicle I look up at the sky and make a guess about how long it will be before it starts raining.

Although no one around my neighbourhood seems to be washing their vehicles lately (or wasting water in other ways). Maybe the water cut-offs are starting to sink through their thinking.

They are forecasting that there is a 90% chance of no rain, seems pretty accurate to me?

Forecast of rain on last days of April and not tonight.

Mine forecasts 42 for Friday. The Ball hasn't come to rest on 42 this year. !. Why do the thermometers i buy never work right. Now My Big Fircone from Madeira could be a Breakthrough in Thai Forecasting.

Had some moderate rain around 10 a.m this morning in Bang Saen Chonburi. It was quite nice as it cooled things down, but now the heat is back on outside.

[Chassa]

Guess no one understands the weather patterns at this time of year, it all seems very normal to me (predictions are accurate) -  Me being an ex Northern Territorian (Darwin) understands.

[Grumpy John]

I watch the weather radar regular.  Phetchabun mostly as Phitsanulok radar is out of action more than iT is in action!  But that's useful as the majority of the rain here comes from East South East. So we can get  a bit of warning that way and the cool breeze comes about 20 minutes before the rain starts. Of course there are days when the rain comes from all directions, often it would seem at the same time.

The only sure thing is air pollution and high levels of 2.5 PM will continue to blanket the country. Even Phuket and Krabi are experiencing high levels of air pollution as the Indonesian field burning season gets underway destroying the quality of life for tens of millions of poor peasants throughout the region. ????????????

Phrae is as dry as a witches tit, no rain for 6 months, we see clouds in the distance but they are sooooo misty! Please "Huey" (God of rain) smile on us, 10mm would be nice?

Few weeks yet before we get any meaningful rains! No where near as bad as it was in 2016, that was utter misery!

How wonderful. Hopefully will kill a bit of the much reported pollution, I hope it's nothing like the dreadful droughts of 2013-14, when it hardly rained at all, and simply felt like living in an oven. You know it's hot when the locals are moaning about the heat, and sweating up. Those were hard years. I would be up on my roof having a nice drink, relishing the breezes which bought a smidgen of relief from the relentless heat looking at clouds building up in the distance, willing them to come overhead and drop their loads, cooling all around, but there was no rain for 18 months...

I wish it would rain in the middle... central/west here and steam is coming out of my ears.

I can actually break into a sweat standing in the cold shower!

06:00 it's +30C and very high humidity

[swerve]

Raining in Phuket now.  Skies with dark clouds.
